Vuescan is allright, but once you dive into the 'getting control', you've got to know its limitations as well. For example, I had a similar problem with too dense negatives. Vuescan allows to set exposure in a range from 2 (nominal) to 16 (in terms of stops: 3 stops extra exposure), but looking at the results, all settings from 4 to 16 are identical. That's probably my scanner that won't go beyond exposure value 4, and I can live with that, but Vuescan won't come and tell you...
